Ghost In the Shell Item Search!

[DjMayara]

Hey Everyone I'm currently looking for something similar if not exactly like the glasses you see Motoko wear in the Ghost in the Shell Series.

Here are some Screen Grabs.

Another view.

Also at some angle's it appears they are transparent.

Any Help or ideas would be appreciated.

I doubt you'll find anything exact, as artists hardly ever copy any particular item exactly. They just draw what they think looks cool and call it a day.

But do an ebay search for 'vintage wrap around sunglass*', 'retro wrap around sunglass*' or just 'wrap around sunglass*' and you'll find a few pair that are very close

The closest I've found (so far)... http://www.impostercity.com/ImposterCity-Style-2603-pr-462.html
These are cheap enough to be modified to match the ones in the anime a little closer...
But I'm still searching on the net, if I'll find something closer I'll post it here

There's a pair on ebay that looks really close, but since you can't post live auctions, you'll just have to look under the suggestions I made earlier.

The only difference is in the color, but I'm sure that enough time in some RiT dye can fix that as well.

Great Link on the glasses Ramiel. Any leads on decent weapon props from the show?

I could use some thermoptic camoflauge right about now.

I hope you are kidding... If not I want one!:lol

About other props/weapons, I know there are some resin kits of the weapons out there... Also there should be more than one online airsoft seller that sell the poseidon kits

Actually a few japanese companies are working on it and have a semi-working prototype but you need to be infront of a projector to get it to work but it hides you in your surroundings!

Yeah I know that one (being a huge Metal Gear fan I choose to call it "stealth camouflage" as well...)
But there is also a new step forward in that direction... There was a thread in the OT section if I remember correctly...

Dont Have Access to Off Topic Yet so I guess I have to wait on seeing the thread.

Oh, sorry...
